PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

DOSHIN AP Joint System is an asphaltic plug joint which is suitable for low to medium
movement capacity expansion joints on highway bridges and other selective structures.
The maximum design movement for this joint are ± 25mm on horizontally and ±1.5mm
on vertically.

DOSHIN AP Joint System extends to the full depth of surfacing and is installed after the
carriageway and verge construction has been completed. It performs by elastic and plastic
deformation of the binder matrix through a combination of bridge deck movement factors
and the nature of the traffic using the structure

DOSHIN AP Joint System when installed will accommodate bridge deck movement
factors. The normal movement capacity is attained in joint size at 500mm wide and not
less than 50mm deep.
